9 Surprising Ways to Get Your Chocolate Fix

A brownie always hits the spot, but sometimes I want something a little more unique when I’m looking for a chocolate fix. These awesome chocolate dessert recipes are unlike anything you’ve tried before — a fabulous way to satisfy your sweet tooth!

From unexpected ingredients to remade classics, there’s something here for every chocolate lover in your life.

1. Brigadeiros

These bite-sized chocolate treats are very popular in Brazil but are less known in the United States. Brigadeiros are intensely chocolaty and are a cinch to make with only five ingredients and 10 minutes of cook time.

Traditionally, brigadeiros are rolled in good quality chocolate sprinkles, but you can get creative and roll these treats in anything from chopped nuts to cookie crumbs.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and condensed milk until smooth. Pour the condensed milk mixture into a medium non-stick saucepan and add the butter.

Place the pan on the stove over medium heat.

Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened and started to pull away from the sides of the pan, approximately 5-7 minutes.

Pour the chocolate mixture into a shallow container that’s been coated with cooking spray and cool completely.

Coat your hands with cooking spray and make tablespoon sized balls of the cooled chocolate mixture. Roll the balls in the sprinkles to coat. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

4. Chocolate Chili Ice Cream

This rich and creamy chocolate ice cream packs a punch with dried red chilies in the mix. A sweet and spicy combination that’s far from typical, this ice cream will impress your spice-loving friends and family.

7. Chocolate Tres Leches Cake

Tres leches cake is a traditional Latin American dessert that features three different types of milk. This cake is delectable as is, but adding chocolate really takes things to the next level of decadence!
